2.75V to 4.8V Input, 10mA Output, 35µVRMS Ultra-Low Noise Boost Regulator
General Description
The MAX77231 is optimized for boost applications, requiring very low ripple/noise and small PCB space. Output ripple and noise are suppressed to 35µVRMS (in 1MHz BW) by a PMOS linear post-regulator set 0.5V below the boost regulator output to reject noise while optimizing efficiency.
The boost regulator operates using a 1µH/400mA inductor and 2.2µF (0.22 (min) after derating) output capacitance. Fast transient response and stable operation are guaranteed using a current-limited PFM architecture.
